OpenLDAP can store and deliver Unicode text. Also, see:

http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2596.html

on the use of language tags for attributes. For a live example, see:

http://www.mentata.com/ldaphttp/examples/gospel/

which runs against data with LDIF like:

gospdescription;lang-sw: Walipoiona hiyo nyota, walifurahi mno.

For the schema and complete LDIF files for this example, ask me directly 
or check back on the site later.
